The information I have on his age is he was born on November 11, 1974. Making him 20 or 21 around the time Episode 1 was made, how would a twenty year old be considered for a 9 year old role. Secondly he would never have read the script. None of the actors read the script before the movie was made. Third he was coming off Titanic and would have been too big of a name for a major role. Liam Neeson while known wasn't a huge name off a hot movie and the others were actors yet to make nig names for themselves. If he dosen't like the movie fine. Don't make transparent lie to bash it. :mad:

All excellent points, all true. Maybe he meant Ep 2, though he still would have only got a very small piece of script.

Leo was talking about Attack of the Clones. I never heard his name mentioned with The Phantom Menace. His name became attached to Star Wars when they announced episode 2 would be a decade later than episode 1.

Ya, but I agree, he is lying about having read the script. And I have my doubts Lucas would have seriously considered such a big star. I don't buy the "I could have been Anakin if I wanted to".

I guess not every movie can be as wonderful as "Man in the Iron Mask" or "The Beach".

DiCaprio is a good actor and I've liked some of his movies, but I am thankful he didn't play Anakin. (Not that I'm too thrilled with ... well that's another thread)

I'm glad he didn't "take the Anakin role". I liked a few of his films but he is a pompus (spl?) arrogant little... :frus: And I find that a bit humorous, considering his first "Big Role" was a homeless high school kid on Growing Pains!!!!! lol lol lol ...YOU DA MAN LEO!!!

Leo is a jerk. Plain and simple. Obviously fame has gotten to his head.

He lied to me, too. He told me he'd already paid me the $20 bucks he owed him when he still hasn't! :mad:

That's crazy, 'cause when I asked him about your $20 he said he spent it on a magazine, some ice cream and then a Snoop Dogg CD. Obviously this guy's not to be trusted. You gonna "call him out" by the bike racks after school Chux?

Wait a tick, did I miss some news ?

Sorry, I didn't even know what I was talking about. Please, someone direct me to Leo's comments.

LOL. Im glad Leo found the roles of Anakin and Spidey to be below him, i would hate to have to loathe both because of him. "Im king of the world!" would have been the new "Yippeee!!"
